It really grows on you though and once it does it becomes highly addictive.- PALGN

A disappointing game. It feels like a severely stripped down version of a console version that is now actually cheaper than this version.- PALGN

Chronicles of Narnia presents a few neat ideas that should be used in future games from this genre, but there are far too many issues that out weigh the good.- PALGN

The PSP version unfortunately doesn't have the polish and smooth gameplay of its predecessors and is hard to recommend, even to fans of the series.- PALGN

The fact that it was finished last year and released in Japan in 2004 and left until now, with no changes, is just one of god’s mysteries.- PALGN

Cookie and Cream is an enjoyable game that kids and adults will both get pleasure from. The game ends up feeling like Crash Bandicoot mixed with Mario, which is a good combination.- PALGN

Alpha Protocol is a commendable attempt at story-driven, role-playing action which sadly doesn't live up to its promise, leaving many of us to wonder at what it could have been with a little more polish.- PALGN

Meet the Robinsons showed a great amount of potential simply by the fact it had solid touch screen controls – a good sign for any movie licensed game on the DS. While it does have its moments, its short life span and lack of depth bring it down.- PALGN

Avatar: The Burning Earth will prove irresistible to fans of the series who want to devour more information about their favourite characters, but for the uninitiated the choppy storyline and short lifespan should make you think twice before making a purchase.- PALGN

Buggy, uninspired and unrefined gameplay that has been bested by far better games, and is best suited to those with nothing else to play.- PALGN

If you don't like the genre, this won't convert you, but for those who are hooked on turn based battles, this will fit the bill nicely.- PALGN

Movie tie-in or not, competent or not, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a half-arsed effort given the source material.- PALGN

Any advancements made in terms of the games strategy phase, and improving the frame rate, have been negated by the appalling draw distance, the poor AI and resulting disappointing gameplay.- PALGN

Lacks a final polish, the combat and exploration can get repetitive, and the visuals are poor. However, there are a number of minor features which will please fans such as the entries in the Field Guide and Thimbletack’s tendency to rhyme.- PALGN

Devil Kings is the title gamers can use to take baby steps into the hack-‘n’-slash world. Not much in the way of advancing any genre, although, as mentioned it does contain some of the most charismatic and slick characters in recent times.- PALGN

Despite a few drawbacks, Rubik’s Puzzle World is a surprisingly delightful game that should be given a shot by anyone who considers themselves a puzzle fanatic.- PALGN

Whilst Crazy Taxi has a number of technical issues, they don't add up to anything more than a minor inconvenience to the majestic mayhem, especially with a second player along for the ride.- PALGN

The Run sits squarely in the middle of the franchise pantheon; its tentative steps into storytelling are often ham-fisted, but represent something of a unique avenue for the development of the racing genre, while the core racing model is just about good enough if one forgets that its Criterion-developed predecessor was released just one year prior.- PALGN

A competent RPG that has some remote appeal but it doesn't take enough of the things that made the Game Boy versions so enjoyable.- PALGN

We can’t put our finger on it, but Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War just isn’t that fun. Despite having some fantastic features, it’s confusing to see so many games repeat the same mistake over and over again. Poor AI is a curse for RTS games, and Rise & Fall doesn’t do much to avoid this. It’s disappointing that such a fantastic concept falls flat on its stomach due to some minor, but unforgiving, mistakes.- PALGN

Worth looking at, and would probably keep the kids busy for a while, but doesn't pack the punch it could have with some more titles and unlockables that are WORTH unlocking.- PALGN

White Knight Chronicles may provide some joy for the JRPG faithful, but it feels tired, bland and uneven in almost all aspects.- PALGN

While the level of humour remains the same, the PlayStation 2 version falls short in the graphics department. The mini-games also don’t feel as engaging as they do on the Wii at times.- PALGN

Enchanted Arms does nothing that particularly stands out, and there are superior experiences to be had on inferior hardware.- PALGN

Attack on Pearl Harbor offers some great 'arcadey' action and some incredibly fun aerial combat that is great in short bursts. However players looking for something in a complicated/involving vein are best to look elsewhere.- PALGN

Project Sylpheed fits the bill for anyone who is looking for some solid flight combat action, and doesn't mind some anime inspired storylines.- PALGN

Aside from game play modes there are barely any enhancements to the game at all, which is seriously disappointing.- PALGN
